    I'm beginning to appreciate the serendipitous poetic nature of the increasingly odd SPAM message subject lines. I remain dumbfounded that the idea that anyone might actuall open and read such messages supports their non-stop creation and distribution. But today, I received one with an odd word-combination subject line so eye-grabbing that I actually had to open it. The message was some garbage about a hot stock tip, but I'm still laughing out loud at the subject and sender: "tremendous clench" from "despicablecream@alumnidirectory.com". I had to share it. Anyone else got some good ones?

      "Rory Sneed" sent me one about "a butchery belvidere" "Monte Shapiro" sent me one about "Napoleon, in beefsteak" but i don't get as many of those random-word spams as i used to . now i get spams that are just chopped-up news articles.

        They use these words to fool the Baysian Spam filters.

          The vast majority of the spam i get is unreadable. Some sort of asian character set. As for the rest, i used to get a lot of porn / "male enhancement" spam. Now i get mostly weight-loss pill spam. It's sorta spooky... :~
